"Jesus, damn... okay," Dragon said with a sigh. "I guess Ze hit the jackpot when he met Colton."
"Do you ever meet up?" Richie asked. "How much do you know about Ze?"
"We meet up at least once a year. That's our plan. A chance to ride out with all our brothers and sisters and have a retreat like a family reunion. We get to meet new members of the chapters and catch up with each other," Dragon said.
"At least those who can make it," TT said.
Dragon nodded. "Yeah, TT and I have missed five of them, but I'm looking forward to the next one this year."
"That's if we can resolve this bullshit war with the fucking Triad," TT said.
"It's rough," Ajay said. "Right now, Maverick is in New York, and from what I know, they are tearing into the remaining Five Families. Hell, the first day Maverick landed, they took out the Torelli family. Maverick said that their hit squad was top-notch and plenty brutal."
"Isn't Akari there too?" TT asked.
Ajay steered the car onto the turnpike and accelerated. He nodded. "Rico got shot, so he called Maverick to come through. But Maverick is the only one from our chapter. Las Vegas sent some brothers and one sister to help."
"Who did they send?" Dragon asked.
"Your dad knows. Richie and I are still prospects, so as you know, we aren't privy to everything," Ajay said.
"Fair enough," Dragon said. He wasn't going to worry about getting all of the details yet. He knew his father would tell him what he needed to know when it was time. He looked at Richieand remembered the video his sister played for him when she visited of Richie being high off his own supply at the last party. He kissed his man's neck then ear. "You want to tell me why you took that drug and tripped out at that party?"
Richie groaned and covered his face. "Uhhhhh, I will never live that day down."
Dragon laughed, the sound of his sexy voice tempted Richie to go another round.
"Ah man, I heard about it but didn't see the pictures," TT said.
"Don't worry, they'll show you," Richie said with a smile.
Dragon claimed Richie's lips practically eating him alive before he released him, leaving his man breathless. "I can't wait to see it."
"So, I had already run tests on it... human tests in secret with Monty's help," Richie said as he fanned himself.
"Monty, your best friend who is now married to the triad's boss's son?" Dragon asked.
Richie nodded. "He was forced into that marriage, but from what he's told me, it's working out."
"How is the relationship between you two? I mean, if he's warming up to his husband, and our families are at war, where does that leave you guys?" TT asked.
"Ours is a relationship built on trust. I think the Triad knows that because they haven't involved Monty in any of their dealings with the Lords or Castiellos," Richie said.
"Yet," Dragon added.
"I hope not. Please don't ask me to kill my friend," Richie said and the tone in his voice let Dragon know that Monty meant a lot to him.
"I would never. But would he attack us? We'd only allow him so much grace, baby," Dragon said.
"He'd rather die than hurt me," Richie said.
Dragon licked his lips and nodded. "Okay, we'll just cross that bridge if we ever get to it. Getting back to your drug."
Richie went on. "The lab I was making it up in before I ended up in prison was provided by Monty."
"Did it get shut down when you went to prison?" TT asked.
Richie shook his head. "No, they didn't catch me there. I've moved everything from that lab to one in the back of the clinic that Shotgun built."
